Hi devs,
I'd like to modify the Box macro in the following manner:
* Deprecate the "title" parameter. I don't believe it's needed right
now (it's put below the image and before the content) since it can simply be put in
the content
Image too can be put in the content, even positioned in all the ways.
I'm not convinced that image makes more sense than title.
Indeed you're right. Example:
{{box}}
image:icon:tick text here
{{/box}}
I'm 0 but I'm still to develop a full
opinion about this macro. FTM it
feels it needs a bit of work to define the usecases (I mean besides our
own macros that extend it), to see how it makes sense for the user. From
my pov, not in this way (remove title and improve image support).
Right now I'd be in favor of dropping also the image parameter (again not talking
about backward compat here).
Then we drop box macro and add border and background color options to
the container macro :),
We might not even need those params since they're already supported by using block
parameters...
(% style="..." %)(((
{{container}}
....
{{/container}}
)))
Note: that's before we add block param support for macros directly (shortcut):
(% style="..." %)
{{container}}
...
{{/container}}
and make those configurable (they're not, for
the box).
We need the wysiwyg editor to support adding block parameters.
Since, as we said before, there's not such a big
difference
between box and container. I think there is a mail about this on the dev
list.
Indeed, that's a good option: we deprecate the current Box macro completely (100%
backward compat preserved) and instead move to using the container macro.
It's just that for end users using a box macro is more obvious than using a container
macro IMO from a mnemotechnic POV.

Possible values would be: top (ie before the content) or left (ie left of the content),
possibly some others if we want (right)

http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XE-723 where I'd like the image to be aligned with
the text, left to it. I also find it a bit strange to be able to add any wiki content to
the title and I don't see the title as necessary. Also right now if you have a title
but no content the macro doesn't work (content is mandatory).
